A terminal based graphical activity monitor inspired by htop

If you haven't already got Node.js, then go get it.

git clone https://github.com/krishpranav/ktop cd ktop npm install node app.js 

or you can run

npm install ktop 

If you really like ktop, but your finger muscle memory means you keep typing 'top' then why not add an alias to ~/.bashrc.

alias top="ktop" alias oldtop="/usr/bin/top" 

• Press 'u' to update to the latest version of ktop.
• Arrow up or k to move up the process list.
• Arrow down or j to move down.
• Arrow left or h to zoom the graphs in.
• Arrow right or l to zoom the graphs out.
• g to go to the top of the process list.
• G to move to the end of the list.
• dd to kill all the processes in that group

If your terminal supports mouse events (like iTerm) then you can click on the items in the process list. As well as use the scroll wheel. You can disable mouse control with the ktop --no-mouse option.

Color Scheme

ktop --theme wizard ktop --theme acid
